TV RECAP: ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Ep. 103 – ‘For the Triumph of Evil’

by Eric Miller, Oct 2 2013 // 12:00 PM

Sleepy Hollow 103 Pic

This episode centers on a Native American dream demon known as Ro’kenhronteys (The Sandman). He visits Abbie in a dream that includes Ichabod Crane and an unknown woman.

Abbie and Crane are called to the scene where a woman is on a ledge high up on a building. Abbie goes to talk to her, and notices that it’s the same woman from her dream. Her name is Maura Vega, and she treated Abbie’s sister Jenny at the first mental hospital she was admitted to. Vega tells Abbie that she always believed Jenny, but did nothing to help her. Vega says that she has had this coming a long time, they all have. She then jumps from the building.

Vega’s eyes were glassed over and all white. When the medical examiner opens her eyes to check, her eye turns to sand. Since this woman had treated Abbie’s sister in the past, Crane wants to talk to Jenny to see if she can help. Abbie explains that their relationship is strained, but Crane insists.

TV: Check Out Previews for Fox’s New Fall 2013 Shows

by Joe Gillis, May 13 2013 // 3:30 PM

Almost-Human-Urban-1

We often make fun of TV networks and question the wisdom of their decisions. However, deep down we know it must actually be a very difficult job deciding what shows to give the green light to and which to send back to the proverbial drawing board.

So, it is with the utmost respect that we present a bunch of previews for Fox’s new Fall shows coming to your TV later this year. We’ve also included the new schedule so you can get an idea of what shows are coming back, when they’re going to air and what new shows you may want to se your DVR for.

For our money, most of these look like a lot of other shows we’ve already seen before. Again, we know it’s difficult and we know networks are losing audience to the Internet, but maybe more of the same isn’t the answer?

Anyway, we do like the looks of Almost Human, but the rest don’t really do it for us. It’s a good thing Fox has decided to bring back Jack Bauer for more 24. They may need to fill some space in the schedule pretty soon.

Check out the previews, and the entire Fall schedule, after the break.

‘Fringe’ Is Almost Over, Here’s a Trailer for the Finale

by Joe Gillis, Jan 16 2013 // 2:30 PM

Fringe_Finale_Poster

We’re sad to see it go because Fringe is one of our favorite shows. Still, if you have to go, this looks like a great way to do it.

Also, kudos to Fox for letting the gang at Fringe write their way to the conclusion instead of the alternative. So much better way to deal with the ending of a show than some other times we could mention.

Anyway, Fringe is coming to an end and we’ve got this trailer for you which shows that things will most definitely be going out with a bang. Just as it should be.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for the 2-hour Fringe series finale this Friday on Fox. Walter, I think we’ll miss you most of all.

Ben Kingsley Joining Adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s ‘Ender’s Game’

by Sebastian Suchecki, Dec 9 2011 // 9:00 AM

Books are coming back in a huge way lately. I can remember being in school when Hollywood was having an outreach for kids to “read more.” now it seems like Hollywood can’t get kids to stop reading and loving books, to the point where just about every big book franchise is getting adapted into a movie.

Twilight, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and now Orson Scott Card’s epic series, Ender’s Game is getting the Hollywood treatment.

Movement on the project is picking up quickly, as critically acclaimed actor Ben Kinglsey is joining an already stellar cast. From THR:

Hugo actor Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld are starring in the pic, set in a future where the Earth is under attack by an insect-like race and mankind has created a battle school to train fighting forces.

J.J. Abrams Gets Alice Eve & A Release Date for ‘Star Trek 2’

by Matt Raub, Dec 1 2011 // 12:00 PM

He may have his hands in half a dozen TV projects, and Zach Quinto may want to quit acting, but that isn’t stopping J.J. Abrams from continuing in his reimagined world of Star Trek with a second film.

First, Abrams announces that he wants She’s Out of My League starlet Alice Eve to have a juicy role in the upcoming sequel. This is the first hard confirmation of new casting news, seeing as the deal with Benicio del Toro has yet to solidify. From Variety.

As is common with Abrams, secrecy has surrounded the pic since the helmer officially announced he would be back — including which characters the new actors will play. Sources say Eve’s character is new to the “Star Trek” universe, unlike del Toro, would insiders believe will be playing someone familiar to Trekkies.

As if that isn’t juicy enough for all you diehards out there, an official date has also been announced, which will make it hard for actors like Quinto to continue to drag their heals.

E3 2011: Paramount Digital To Unveil New ‘Star Trek’ Game for XBox 360 and PC

by Joe Gillis, Jun 3 2011 // 1:00 PM

If you are one of the people out there who’s love for Star Trek is only matched by your love of video games, this post is directly straight at you. Paramount Digital Entertainment announced today a brand new action adventure co-op game that will allow players to take on the roles of some of their favorite classic Trek characters including Spock and Kirk.

The game is set to debut next week at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles and will “continue the adventure that J.J. Abrams J.J.

“Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced,” said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. “Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise.

‘Star Trek 2’ To Get Pushed to Holiday 2012

by Matt Raub, May 25 2011 // 12:00 PM

Bad news for the new batch of Trekkies today, as Paramount and J.J. Abrams are close to announcing that the sequel to 2009’s blockbuster Star Trek will be pushed back another 6 months from June 29th, 2012 to a Holiday 2012 release. Deadline has the details.

This comes after Paramount pushed back the other franchise film in its arsenal that has Chris Pine as its star. Pine’s also playing Jack Ryan in the reboot of the Tom Clancy-created series. Pine was expected to shoot that film first, but the script wasn’t ready. Paramount hired David Koepp to rewrite Adam Cozad’s script. Koepp just began writing this week after completing his film Premium Rush.

Why is Star Trek in such precarious shape, just 13 months before its release date? The film has three top-flight writers in Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Like Abrams, all of them have been busy on other films. Kurtzman directed Welcome to People. Orci has been busy on Cowboys & Aliens and in prepping the Gavin Hood-directed sci-fi epic Ender’s Game.

Lindelof has been busy working on Prometheus, the Ridley Scott film for Fox that was conceived as a 3D prequel until Lindelof came on to do a rewrite and changed the concept so much that they consider it an original. The result? It doesn’t sound like they are close to having a script that will live up to the high quality of the first film that revived a dead franchise. On the Trekkie fan site Trekmovie.com, Orci confessed this week that they have a 70-page outline, and are waiting for Abrams to commit so that they can really get going. Well, that is hardly an enviable position to be in, exactly 13 months before the release of the film.

So it looks like while Abrams, Orci, and Kurtzman are off making tons of over multi-million dollar sci-fi blockbusters, our favorite crew trekking across the stars will have to wait. We’ll be sure to be on this as close as we can while a confirmation comes through.

Fox Renews ‘Fringe’ for Another Season

by Chris Ullrich, Mar 25 2011 // 8:00 AM

Apparently, old dogs (or in this case, old networks) can learn new tricks. The old dog in question today is the Fox network which, it seems, has learned that it’s okay to a give struggling series that you scheduled in the Friday night ‘Death Slot” a chance to reach an audience and continue its story. That series, we are happy to say, is Fringe — which has been renewed for another season by the network.

But wait, there’s more. Not only has the struggling series been given another season, its also received a full-season order of 22 episodes. Awesome, right? Despite low ratings, which got lower after the show was moved from Thursday to Friday, Fox management was still interested in the show’s creative direction.

In addition, Fringe has also been a big hit for the DVR crowd. So, when that is taken into consideration, the series ranks as the top-rated series on Fridays. Whatever the reason, or combination of reasons, we’re glad Fox decided to give Fringe another year to build an audience. It’s a great show that deserves to be seen. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should.
